Autonomous AI Designs Breakthrough Medicine - Science & Tech News

Three incredible breakthroughs - and only ONE of these is Science Fiction! DNA hard drives. AI designing medicine. Brandon Sanderson's virtual worlds.

We feature Science and Technology news stories - and maff's reactions - several times a week. Subscribe to stay updated.

Today:

AI Designs Medicine - FutureHouse's multi-agent AI system Robin designed a new drug to fight dry age-related macular degeneration. No human biochemist required. It works.

Better Than "Ready, Player One" - Brandon Sanderson's new short story collection "Tailored Realities" explores alternate worlds, nested realities, and virtual existence. We dive into the stories and the theme that connects them all: what makes a world real?

Nature's Hard Drive - Chinese researchers have cracked DNA-based data storage on miles-long plastic tape. Unlimited capacity. They already have a working prototype, but with some BIG problems yet to solve, is this little more than an impressive Science Project?

What connects these topics? A simple truth: the line between science fiction and science fact has collapsed. The futures we imagined are arriving now—some impossible, all profound.

mafftopia explores intersections like these: breakthrough science, emerging technology, storytelling that bends reality, new AI capabilities that redefine what's possible. Join us to explore topics like:

AI
VR
XR
AR
Bitcoin, crypto, blockchains, Privacy Coins
Web security
Vibe coding
Materials science
Agriculture, advancements in organic farming
Ancient civilisations discovered
Spirituality where there's some crossover with science
(it happens!)
Poltergheists - I mean if there's science involved, obviously...
